Close To My Heart Annual Convention

Just back from the Close To My Heart 2014 Annual Convention held at the Disneyland Hotel in sunny California.  The weather was beautiful.  A few of my friends and I even had a chance to visit Disneyland and California Adventure.  The most exciting news however, is that we have a new Cricut Cartridge!  It is called Artfully Sent and will be available for purchase sometime in August.  I'll post more information as soon as we have a definite release date.  Here is a sneak peek at one of the cards we created at one of our creative sessions using this awesome cartridge.

This is the outside of the card.  The inside has a pop out hot air balloon. 

With the release of new products, come others that will be "retired."  Please take a look at this list and contact me if there is something you want to purchase.  The products on the retiring list are available on a "while supplies last" basis.
